The Minister emphasized the importance of proper preparation to ensure the success of this important event through coordination among all relevant institutions involved, while providing all artisans with the necessary support to promote and market their traditional products, leveraging digitization and modern technologies in line with the state's policy in this regard. This salon comes as part of our ministry's ongoing efforts to develop and elevate national handicrafts.

It aims to promote traditional handicrafts that contribute to local economic development and highlight the role of artisans and artisans in advancing this sector, while working to improve it in accordance with tourist demands and new technological developments. In order to enrich this salon from various angles, the Minister, in her capacity, directed the committee members to engage as many artisans as possible, representing all regions of the country, in order to highlight the cultural and historical diversity of Algeria, in coordination with the Ministry of Culture and Arts, and to actively involve youth from emerging institutions, while ensuring the participation of specialists in the field of handicrafts and material suppliers and equipment providers dedicated to artisans. A dedicated pavilion for traditional authentic cooking arts will also be established.
